March is National Nutrition Month® and the theme this year is Food Connects Us!
Family meals are a great way to use food as a connector! Sharing meals together boosts nutrition, supports healthy habits and strengthens relationships.
Try one of these easy tips to make family meals happen more often in your home:
-Keep it simple: Attempting to make a meal with 20 ingredients is a recipe for disaster. Instead, build a small collection of go-to recipes to help you get in and out of the kitchen in under 30 minutes.
-Choose ingredients that multitask: Ingredients you can use for more than one meal can be a major time saver. Instead of making just three chicken breasts, consider making six. This way, you can use the extras in other dishes such as chicken salad or fajitas.
-Make it a habit: Make sure each family member knows that everyone is to be home for dinner at a particular time. When everyone expects to enjoy dinner at 5 p.m. on Sunday, they'll begin to look forward to this family time and will arrange their schedules around it.
-It's OK to ask for help: If you’re feeding the whole family, you already have helpers right at your fingertips. Ask others to set the table, pour drinks or help make a salad.
-Make it fun: Add some fun and excitement with food themes. Throw a blanket on your family room floor and enjoy a picnic. Let everyone choose a theme and you'll see that your choices are endless.
Which will you try first?!

WE WILL BE CLOSED ON MONDAY 2/17/25
In honor of Presidents’ Day, we thought it would be fun to reflect on some lesser-known facts about past U.S. presidents. From Abraham Lincoln’s wrestling prowess to Calvin Coolidge’s fondness for raccoons, history holds many surprises beyond the politics, check out more below.
We will reopen on Tuesday, February 18 at 9am.
